Is it possible to create the permalink structure from the filename structure?

[saviomd]

My permalink config is

permalinks: {
    structure: ':path/index.html'
}

I set the path in the YFM of every file and it's working fine, the files are compiled like '/jogos/lista/index.html', '/jogos/buraco/index.html', etc But I wanted to have something more automatic, I don't want to do this in every single html file.

I was looking for a way to have something like that

permalinks: {
    structure: ':basename/index.html'
}

So the name of the files would be something like "jogoslista.html", "jogosburaco.html" and I would have a way to intercept the basename and replace all "__" with "/". Is this currently possible? (I'm using assemble 0.4.41 and permalinks 0.3.6)

I think a permalinks configuration like this will work for you:

  permalinks: {
    structure: ':custom/:basename/index.html',
    patterns: [
      {
        pattern: ':custom',
        replacement: function () {
          var root = path.join(grunt.config.get('config.src'), 'templates/pages');
          var ext = path.extname(this.src);
          return this.src
            .replace(root, '')
            .replace(ext, '')
            .replace(this.basename, '')
            .replace(/^[\/\\]/, '');
        }
      }
    ]
  }

grunt.config.get('config.src') is a property set in my grunt.initConfig. It might be something different for you.

Ok, I'll try that out. Thank you!

@doowb this is a nice workaround but perhaps this should be built in
